Daedalus
Hey Daedalus your black shoes are shiny but you got holes in
your soles
And your Mercedes Benz don’t drive it just sort of rolls
Women well you got lovely ladies of every kind
But a good one with an honest tongue they’re so hard to find
Daedalus tell me what you gonna do
When daddy writes his will and it don’t include you
Look up Daedalus the sky is blue
You reap what your sow those words are true
If you meet the green dragon in the dungeon best give him
all your gold
Dress fine march in line good fascists do what they are told
Sipping Champaign in vain still you complain about the rain
I could tell you the truth but you won’t let me explain
Daedalus tell me what you gonna do
When daddy writes his will and it don’t include you
Look up Daedalus the sky is blue
You reap what your sow those words are true
Front row at the show but you’re upset you’re not back stage
Like a simmering pot of soup you’re in a constant rage
Oh Daedalus we’re told to look out for number one
But if you do when the night comes you’ll be all alone
Daedalus tell me what you gonna do
When daddy writes his will and it don’t include you
Look up Daedalus the sky is blue
You reap what your sow those words are true
Playing funky sax you can relax
You heard a rumor of Happy Jack
Daedalus don’t worry I got your back
The truth is different from the facts
Winter comes with blasé doldrums year after year
We are intimate strangers close but yet never near
The Earth keeps spinning the devil’s grinning evil is
winning
But don’t worry Casey’s at bat in the final inning
Daedalus tell me what you gonna d
When daddy writes his will and it don’t include you
Look up Daedalus the sky is blue
You reap what your sow those words are true
